Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity
ASM Metal Recycling is a long-time supporter of the Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity and is a regular sponsor of its events. The charity has touched the lives of many families in the community.
The hospice is there for patients with life-limiting illnesses, and their families, across Buckinghamshire and its borders.
Their vision is for local patients to be able to access the best possible care and support, whenever and wherever they need it.
Midnight Walk and the Walk Of Light
Each year, ASM Metal Recycling sponsors the Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity’s annual walk.
Participants embark on a scenic 5 and 10 mile route around the breathtaking Watermead lake and Meadowcroft. The special day concludes with a stunning display of fireworks and hundreds of floating lights on the lake.
In previous years, the event has raised over £35,000. Photos can be viewed on ASM Auto Recycling’s Facebook Page and on FNH’s Facebook Page.
School Of Rock: The Musical
Recently, the Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity presented an amateur production of School Of Rock: The Musical. ASM Metal Recycling proudly sponsored this event which took place at Aylesbury’s Waterside Theatre.
“We’re still buzzing after Saturday’s phenomenal performance […] Every single performer gave it their all, delivering a show so full of energy, talent, and heart - all after just twelve days of rehearsals! […] A big thank you to our sponsors: ASM Metal Reycling.”

Nightingale’s Rainbow
When you look back at the COVID-19 pandemic in the years to come, what will you remember? The images of empty supermarket shelves? Clapping for Carers? Not being able to see loved ones? Having to change the way we all do business? Wherever your mind takes you, there is likely to be a rainbow picture in a window in the background.
ASM sponsored the Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity and the Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust Charitable Fund to build a tiled rainbow in Spring 2021 to ensure that we recognise, and never forget, the resilience and community spirit shown by the NHS and the people of Buckinghamshire, in responding to the COVID-19 crisis in 2020 and beyond.
Nightingale’s Rainbow is a large installation, consisting of an arch covered with thousands of coloured tiles in rainbow colours located on the roundabout at the A&E Entrance to Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, close to Florence Nightingale Hospice. It a physical monument to remember the resilience, community spirit and kindness shown across the communities of Buckinghamshire during the pandemic and a permanent symbol of hope in the face of adversity.
